I don't think anyone's done anything about it, so yeah.

Realistically, if you've got NOTIFY messages that are going unread
for long enough to risk XID wraparound, your app is broken.  So
maybe it'd be sufficient to discard messages that are old enough
to approach the wrap horizon.  But still that's code that doesn't
exist.
